Coach Johnson, we appreciate your help in getting thru this schedule.

 

While you are on this site, if you will, we have seen with great interest the success you have had with Soddy this year and a number of fans have expressed it. What is different this year than last? I believe you have about the same players.

And how will last years visit to State help you this year to reach a better goal?

 

We would appreciate your thoughts.

after watching Soddy and South I'm going out on a limb and saying they will be in Choo Choo Finals.

You might be right

but i was hoping Coach johnson might share with us her thoughts. For those who don't know Coach Johnson is the head Coach of Soddy Daily's undefeated Volleyball team and was in the State last year.

She left and i hope she might come back and have a short dialogue. Coach Johnson is one of the very good Coaches in the Chattanooga area. To say the least she is fun to watch coach. She is emotional and obviously wants her teams to win. Going to the state the first time is an experience and I wanted to get her thoughts how that visit last year will help her this year. Hope she will return and share her thoughts but if not, we understand.

The games Friday will determine the schedule for Saturday. I think the #1's and

#2's will advance to the gold pools.

Should be some "super" volleyball being played.

 

Did you happen to coach at South Young in the 1980's? I was a student manager on the girls volleyball team in the late 80's and our coach was named Johnson too. I know it's a common name but thought it might be possible since how many Johnson's can there be also coaching in East Tennessee!

Sorry guys, I'm "Mister Coach Johnson." My wife, "the coach" would shoot me if she knew I was saying anything about her team, however, I'm not very scared.

I know we have a lot of girls playing club volleyball and that sure helps. We are so blessed to have, not only hard working girls, but girls that come from

well disciplined homes. Coach Lorri knows that "winning breds winning." I'll add a little "fuel to the fire" by telling everyone that Lorri is from Anderson

County. And no, there is nothing in the water there to make you a better player. Hard work, desire, and a lot of discipline is a good start.

After Coach Lorri reads this, I'll try to get her to answer your questions.

We appreciate your post and the explanation and your duty as asst mr Coach if even that. many coaches on this site strive to get to State and my questions were probing information about her team which we know is undefeated and has been recognized on here as very good, and has she noticed this year their goals are different and along with that maybe anyone on the Soddy team that has stood out this year from a leadership point of view.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.
